IT’S a tough job, but someone has to do it . . . our new beauty panel have been testing some of the latest pampering products to hit the beauty counters and readers can win a set of this week’s favourite, a peace offering from Paul Mitchell...
PAUL MITCHELL’S Give Peace shampoo and conditioner containing invigorating Tea Tree, pictured, Lavender and Peppermint oil wakes you up as well as leaving your scalp tingling clean.
Unlike some menthol-based shampoos which can strip your hair leaving it dry and tatty, this one didn’t. Instead it leaves hair silky and easy to comb.
It is also a winner with men because of its refreshing scent and will make a perfect stocking filler.
And if you buy the Give Peace gift set which comes with an exfoliating Tea Tree body bar, you’ll be helping plant more than three million trees a year around the world as proceeds go to the American Forests Global Releaf campaign.
The Give Peace Tea Tree Special Gift Set is £23 and available from selected salons. Call 0845-659 0012 to find your nearest.
We have 10 BOXES of the Give Peace gift set to give away to the first readers to send their names and addresses on a postcard to: Paul Mitchell Giveaway, Beauty Desk, Sunday Sun, Groat Market, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE1 1ED.

BRIGHT and sparkly it may be, but Rimmel’s Colour Loose power-dip eyeshadow (£4.99) fails to make an impact. The dusty formula goes on easily enough but is quick to form creases on the lid and wouldn’t last five seconds in a nightclub.
